P-51B - stand - antenna - Page 2

So I've heard a lot of guys comment that the Bald Eagle doesn't fit well on the stand, but mine seems fine. At first it seemed like too tight a fit, but with firm pressure and a little wiggling the two mated nicely. Did I get lucky or has anyone else had any luck with this technique?

Man this is a barn door left wide open for the Skunk!

I shave my head and my wife sometimes calls me the bald eagle and last night......never mind.......Skunky, take it.......

I don't like the way the stand fits in front of the scoop......just didn't look good to me, that's why I changed mine.

I am hoping Gemini will look at your example because I am only waiting for the baseball bat antenna problem to be fixed and then I too will take the Gemini plunge. I really like the looks of thier molds. You did a really great job with your masking and color choice. It is hard to believe anyone is good enough to do work like that at such a small scale.

Great job planenuts! I'm committed to the originals because I've ordered the first 3 GAs and have nowhere near the skill or equipment to fix problems like this. I'm probably more likely to wreck it completely.

PN, did you just mask and spray the nose, or did you mask off the whole thing and repaint? Just curious.

I masked with Tamiya masking tape around the anti-glare panel, fuselage and wing areas and sprayed with my Paasche H1 since I didn't have to do any fine feathered camo.....and the H1 is eaiser to clean up and I've gotten lazy
